The year is 397 BE—Before the End. And in the wide and colorful abyss known as the Dragon Path, fate spins two disparate threads together… This week on Perpetua: Castle Eschatonica 01 IRC Log started Dec 21 20:37 Channel: #perpetuaSpoilers 20:37 <Zelgadysk>: It’s not a big deal Nei, just wish I had thought to message you about it on the forums! 20:37 <FriendXofXNei>: It IS a big deal. I feel like I really F***d everything up with everyone relying on me and the faq. Plus, the same thing happened to me when I tried to do the Imago walkthrough at launch without knowing...

Fundraising for Immigrant Justice
Friends at the Table
On Sunday 15th and Monday 16th of February 2026, we’re going to be hosting ICEBREAKER, a two day fundraising marathon on to raise money for the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota’s Immigrant Rapid Response Fund! As Minnesota faces the brunt of a violent anti-immigrant crackdown, and ICE’s cruelty continues to spread nationwide, we are inspired by the solidarity, community, and mutual aid demonstrated by those on the front lines of immigration justice. The WFM’s Immigrant Rapid Response Fund distributes funding to organizations working to provide food, housing, rent relief,...

Friends at the Table
Above Spillaway Peaks, the crew of the Little Snail has found signs of a horrible corruption, tainting not only the town’s oxen and their food, but perhaps of something even more fundamental. With only one clue to go one—the presumed whereabouts of a mysterious food seller—they travel further up the mountains in search of answers. What they find will draw them deeper into adventure than they ever could’ve imagined.

This episode includes discussion of animal injury and illness, including descriptions of wounds and death. A mystery (and the need for a little spending money) has sent the crew of the Little Snail up into the hills of Spillaway Peaks. In between attending to their escortee, the locally famous photographer Waylon, Veile, Nicky, Jonathan, and Elena encounter the edges of a strange curse. What has happened to the Oxen of the Peaks? Can it be reversed? And what might it mean for the Perpetuan Cycle… This week on Perpetua: A PIcture of the Hills 04 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.058] NPCs &...

Friends at the Table
Though the office of the Shining Star stands on the second of Spillaway Peaks’ three tiers, on a clear night, its rooftop beacon can be seen from miles away. This, Thelonious, the newspaper’s editor-in-chief says, is a recruitment strategy. Those who see the light and travel through the wilderness towards it tend to be inquisitive and adventurous enough to make good freelance reporters. And though they followed the Shining Star’s reputation before its shining light, couldn’t the same be said of the crew of the Little Snail?

The crew of the Little Snail has come to Spillaway Peaks in search of an ally: Thelonious, the editor-in-chief of the Shining Star newspaper and a member of the mysterious group called the Luminaries. But before they can go, meet Theo, and earn his trust, they first have to do a little shopping… This week on Perpetua: A Picture of the HIlls 02 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.058] Town Maps [TNMP] Spillaway Peaks [SPMP] The Shell Barrow You know that big dome you can see at Spillaway Peaks from the world map?

Friends at the Table
On the western continent of Perpetua, four fated adventurers set out on a prophesied journey. While to the east, in the Elevana League, a trio of travelers began to investigate a metaphysical sickness. What, if anything, connected these two groups? Who was powerful enough, invested enough, to watch each from above or below—besides you and I? Perhaps, if not for the impending stress of a familial reunion and the ever present struggle between one’s responsibilities to their culture and to themselves, the brilliant, Terrapine inventor Jonathan would find the perspective necessary not...

A sudden confrontation! Having ‘sniffed out’ a lead, Antistrophe, Brontë, and Caoimhe have dug their way towards the truth. That truth rests in the underground archive of the Hexcloaks’ regional headquarters in Cenn, City of Iron Chains. But such a basement does not go unguarded. To arms, Team ABC!

Castine, Living Metal, has retreated to his chambers to channel his power. An ancient dragon continues to slam at the city’s protective dome.

Friends at the Table
A confrontation with the Hexcloak Commander, whose ominous air suggests dire motives. A conversation with the living god of metal, whose curious mind pries into their own. A conflict with an ancient draconic mole, whose thunderous anger threatens the city of chains. Antistrophe Landrace, Bronte Adelvys, and Caoimhe Wake have faced all of this and more during their stay in Cenn. And yet, for now, they’ve remained to help the city—now blocked off from the rest of the world by a massive sphere of pure iron—as it rebuilds from the dragon’s earth-shaking attack. A city as great as...

Side Quests[SDQS]
Spillaway Peaks [SPSQ]
Escort the Waylon the Photographer - 300 Asta
Description: It’s time for Old Waylon to take the yearly photo of the town. Guard him on his journey up the mountains to the best angle.
Definitely take this quest before leaving town. You’re gonna be going up that way to do other side quests anyway, and while Waylon isn’t worth a damn in a fight, he also doesn’t actually cause you too much trouble as long as you keep up with him!
Terrapin Interest Story - 25 to 425 Asta
Description: The Shining Star is paying for feature stories about the people of Spillaway Peaks. Brainstorm an idea, interview your subjects, write your article, and supplement it with art!
This one is a pain in the butt and it seems really random how much you make from it. Basically, you pick from easy to difficult in each phase of the quest (topic, interview, etc.) and depending on how you do, you get more money. Each of the topics also requires you to go to different places, so like if you do a story on the school play, you have to go to the Clutch area to interview parents and children, where as if you do a story on the port’s guards, you need to go down to the water to talk to them. I guess if you really need the Asta, go for it.
Investigate the Livestock Deaths - 400 Asta
Description: Beula’s Giant Oxen have been getting sick, and some have even been dying! This is a problem, since it’s almost time to dredge up new Rice Paddies.
Though this looks like a side quest, it’s basically mandatory. Unless you were inducted into the Luminaries by Commodore Onyx before leaving Calstega Bay, when you meet with Thelonious, he’ll basically put you on a path to do this quest. As such, go read the main Calstega Bay quest section of the FAQ to learn more about this one.
Kill 17 Frostoads - 100 Asta
Description: N/A
I honestly don’t understand why this one is even on this side quest board. Isn’t it supposed to be a newspaper? Why would they pay you to kill random toads? There’s not even a description on it!
Paper Delivery - 20 Asta
Description: Deliver the Shining Star to all 15 of its readers.
Okay, so, you have to go from the Shining Star to 15 different NPCs spread all across the town. And with a 20 Asta reward, it sounds like a really boring fetch quest that just wastes your time right? Well. I guess I won’t say it isn’t a time waster. But the important thing is that you can do this once per every Rest action. And because you can stay for free in Jonathan’s family’s house… that’s right. It seems like you can just grind money here indefinitely. I say “seems” because I haven’t tested it yet, and there is a chance that just resting repeatedly and not advancing the main plot could have consequences, like it did in Shine-Divine War Armidirge. So be careful, but let me know what happens if you do try to get infinite money here!
